Yay Dana!!! 6 pounds is awesome!

I hope you get feeling better! Back pain is not very fun.

Great job sticking to it!

I hope you have a great week too!

I’m really struggling the past couple days with wanting to eat. It’s hard to be perfect some days, but it’s SO worth it when I weigh in!

Today I had to tell myself: the extra bites might taste and feel good right when I eat them, but then I’ll feel bad right afterward, and NOT eating them will feel 1000+ times better when I stick to it…[Read more]

You’re welcome Dana! I’m glad you liked the peppermint bar, I’ll have to get some more!

Day 13= Perfect!

Ugh, I wanted to cheat terribly bad today! But I didn’t!

For lunch I had 5 bites of a PB Clif bar.

Supper was 4 bites out of my bowl that had ham and beans, cornbread, and salad; and 1 bite of a cinnamon donut. Mmm!

We played…[Read more]

It was SO hard not to cheat yesterday! But I just kept thinking: if I cheat now, it’s only going to take me longer to reach my goal.

Today I am wearing an outfit that I had that was too tight a few weeks ago!

Day 12= Perfect!

I just finished supper; still feeling hungry, and we ate late so I got really hungry beforehand. But I’m NOT going to cheat!

I had 4 bites of Clif bar and 1 bite of pizza for lunch.

For supper we had a roast with sides, so I had 5 bites off my plate. Too bad it’s too late in the day for caffeine! I know that would help.

I…[Read more]

Day 11= Perfect!

I drank lots of coffee, and a diet drink.

Lunch was a very good Peanut Butter Clif bar, I ate 5 bites and threw away the rest.

Supper was 2 bites of pizza, 1 bite of carrots, 1 bite of corn, and 1 bite of frozen eggnog.

I didn’t do any exercise, just normal work.

I felt really great today! The biggest thing that…[Read more]

Day 10= Perfect! 10 perfect days in a row! I haven’t beat my record yet, 13 days in the summer of 2018. I can’t believe it’s already Thursday though!

I drank much more coffee than I had been, and water. I also had a diet drink. No tea today, I just wanted coffee instead.

No workout either! I’m trying to not feel so hungry, and…[Read more]

I’m feeling so much better today! Who knew drinking lots of coffee and eating slower made such a difference? It worked last week, and it’s working today. I’m really glad to finally figure out why I wasn’t feeling so great, THANK YOU Chloe and Dr Lewis!

Coffee cuts my appetite like nothing else can! It is truly amazing.

You are doing great!!! I know, I miss eating *more* too… But just think, only a few weeks of boring/not as fun eating to push through, and then we’ll feel amazing AND get to eat more! Have a good rest of your day!

Hi Letileti!

How are you doing?

Yes, I know… I guess I just ate it out of habit! Time to pay more attention!

I just watched this week’s chat finally. I so appreciated what you and Dr Lewis were discussing about ghrelin! (Not sure if that’s spelled right)

Maybe that could be why I’m feeling more hungry lately! I haven’t been eating at my usual times.

And truly tasting your bites! I know that I have been just scarfing mine down absentmindedly this…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>I’m sorry to hear about your friend! I will pray for her, and you as well! 🙏</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>You are so strong! You’re doing awesome with the diet! You can do this! You’re already doing it!!! :crazyexcited:</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>I hope your bars weren’t too bad. I found…[Read more]

Day 9= Perfect!

I wonder why I’m feeling more hungry, just a phase I guess? But feeling better today than yesterday!

I even did half a workout.

I drank a small mug of coffee, and I’m working on my second diet drink. And I had water too.

Lunch was a ‘Healthy Fats’ brand keto bar, that was GROSS. Lol! I shouldn’t have even finished…[Read more]

If you do a bar challenge, I will join you! I’ve never had a Clif bar until yesterday; the one I had was a holiday special flavor and I love anything peppermint! I have several different protein type bars, one kind is the Atkins brand and another is keto. I haven’t tried all of them, but so far Atkins was one of the best!

Today is…[Read more]

Yay! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

I know what you mean! I’ve just been trying to focus too! Food seems like it would be so easy to eat, but then what? I’m back where I started. The very thought of giving up makes me feel depressed, so it’s actually great motivation! If I feel like I just can’t do it, I sit down to drink a diet drink or hot black coffee and just reset for a moment.…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis!

Day 8= Perfect!

I was a little hungrier and not feeling quite myself, so I took it easy today. I drank coffee and a little tea, black, and after lunch I had an energy drink. It didn’t really make a difference in my ‘hunger’, but it distracted me from food so that was a good thing.

For lunch I had a DELICIOUS Peppermint…[Read more]
